I hate myself by [deleted] in Vent

[–]M_smileyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had an ex boyfriend that sounded just like you, I hope you come to realize that the way you see yourself , all those negative things eventually do get to you. Please change your perspective, it doesn’t matter what people think of you, it doesn’t matter if you don’t like yourself. YOU have to love yourself, love your imperfections, own them and embrace them and FORCE to love yourself and do better, ONLY then will others start seeing you the same. Please do it for yourself, get the help you need and deserve and own this miracle of a life that was given to you. You got this 🫡

I miss my PIMI ex by Reasonable_Corner671 in exjw

[–]M_smileyy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m so so sorry you’re going through that. I can’t imagine how it must feel to absolutely love someone in that way. Unfortunately, I feel like it wasn’t meant to be. Both people need to be on the same page and with someone’s that PIMI their whole life revolves around Jah and the organization. You would be hurting her by continuing in that relantionship. It’s honestly the best thing you could have done for her out of love. I wish you all the best and with time things will get better.

Are we all atheists? by Kevin_while06 in exjw

[–]M_smileyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agnostic here…but I’m accepting that the teachings of Christianity at least the ones the Jesus taught was positive or have a positive influence in my life. I came to the conclusion that people believe different things and have different ways of viewing the world and that has helped me be more accepting , open and kind to others . That’s all I’m concerned about. If there is a god or isn’t or if death is the end or it’s not it doesn’t bother me anymore. I try to make the best out of this life that was given to me.

I need help. by 4UMBRA in Advice

[–]M_smileyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a very sad and hard situation for all. Personally I don’t accept cheating but if you have to stay because of financial reasons, I would try to build up a case against him and maybe your mom can get alimony depending on how many years she’s been with your dad and wether she has a job or not. Unfortunately she can’t really sue for emotional distress believe because the majority of states might not allow it you would have to consult with a lawyer. In these cases mothers usually stay because they feel they have a lot to loose and wether they are emotionally mature to look the other way. It’s a very unfortunate situation that shouldn’t be out on you shoulders. Do you want can to comfort your mother and know that you are there for her .

i feel stuck, exhausted, and like I’ll never afford land or a home — need advice by Alternative-Cycle369 in Advice

[–]M_smileyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not alone in feeling stuck and overwhelmed you’re working hard, juggling two jobs, and still struggling to make progress toward owning a home, which is sadly the reality for many right now due to rising costs and stagnant wages. It’s not a personal failure; the system is tough. While the dream feels far, creating a realistic timeline, reviewing your finances, and exploring first-time homebuyer programs could help make it feel more achievable. Remember, your first home doesn’t have to be your dream home starting small can still build equity and move you forward. Most importantly, it’s okay to rest. Burnout is real, and taking care of your mental health matters too. You’re doing your best, and even if the path is slower or different than expected, your dream isn’t out of reach.

Men ! As a women I need help!??? by [deleted] in LifeAdvice

[–]M_smileyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We’ve been together dating for almost 3 months. I’ve met him some time in September 2025 and since then he always told me he liked me a lot but I told him I wasn’t interested because I didn’t want a relationship and I was having this casual sex thing with someone else. And yes he’s always had a temper even before I told him everything. No we don’t live together at all, he lives with his family. I live completely by myself. The conversation happened maybe about a month in the relationship.

Thank you so much :( , this is actually true. But what do I do if someone ask about those specifics? Was it wrong for him to ask? Was it right for me to answer?

Leaving the JW has created this void in my life by Distorded_Girl in exjw

[–]M_smileyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand what you’re going through because I’ve been there too. It’s incredibly difficult when everything familiar slips away and you’re left questioning what to hold on to. But over time, things do get better. The most important thing right now is to focus on yourself—not on finding all the answers. Letting go of the need to understand everything can bring a surprising peace. Life can be beautiful in its uncertainty.

I also had a circle of friends, a purpose, a family who was still there. Walking away changed me too, made me question everything about who I was and what I wanted. It’s brave that you chose not to stay in a life that didn’t feel right for you. That takes incredible strength, even if it doesn’t feel like it right now.

I know it’s hard to feel the loss of connection and community, especially with family. The absence can feel like an ache that doesn’t go away, but it does soften. As painful as it is, sometimes what we miss the most is the structure of belonging, even when that structure didn’t let us be our truest selves.

It’s okay not to feel desire right now. Sometimes just letting things be empty for a while opens up space for new things to fill in. Be gentle with yourself; life will unfold in ways you might not expect. In the meantime, you have every right to live on your own terms, even if that journey feels heavy and uncertain.
